Hi guys,

Just to say, I definitely think that extending Geany to support microcontrollers and embedded development is a good idea -- I'm an Arduino user myself and I can't stand the supplied (so-called) 'IDE'.

But -- just a suggestion -- I think it would be better to implement this through plugins, rather than forking Geany or deriving something completely separate. What I like about Geany is that it's quite modular, and I think it's worth taking advantage of this.

Yes, such specific modifications to core probably will not be merged back into the upstream Geany. But even very specific plugins can be part of geany-plugins.

Hi,
does you know if it's possible to add in some way the plugin GUI to the right side of Geany, when it is loaded, without too much effort?

The split window plugin divides the edit window into two, which is what I think you are trying to do, so have a look at that.

Cheers

this is more or less , how it is at the moment.

don't look to the code( :-D )...its only a sketch, the code will be revised further.

Regarding having a listing of the assembly instructions, registers etc. of an MCU, I'm wondering if it might be better to work with Geany's 'tags' functionality. See for instance /usr/share/geany/filetypes.c and http://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#tags. I admit that I haven't really looked into how the API interacts with tags files or whether it would be possible to augment them with any kind of documentation, etc.

Sadly no augmentation is available.

I don't think a database is necessarily the worst idea, but a WebKit datasheet viewer would seem to make more sense... isn't 'the cloud' where it's at these days? ;)

Thats what they say, but I don't believe it </luddite>

By the way, I'm not a Geany developer, just a layman in the Cult of Geany.

:)

Cheers

Lex
